In this presentation, we will discuss the potential for changes in physical, cognitive, emotional, and social functioning after brain injury and how these impact current and new relationships. We will highlight the importance of communication in expressing wants, needs, and expectations to navigate new or existing relationships. Individuals can be conflicted about what to say or whether to share information about their brain injury when meeting new people. We will explore this personal decision about how much to disclose. Health care providers will learn ways to sensitively open the conversation about relationships and intimacy after brain injury. Survivors and families will learn strategies to ask their providers for help and information on intimate relationships.
